Wang Tao (Chinese: 王涛; born December 13, 1967 in Beijing) is a retired Chinese table tennis player, the current head coach of the Bayi Gongshang club in the China Table Tennis Super League, and a member of the Chinese Olympic Committee. Wang Tao is left-handed and despite using a shakehand grip, his style is more of a pimple hitter(focusing on speed) than a looper(focusing on topspin), which is rather unusual.
Wang Tao was mentioned in season 4, episode 8 of the American television series The Office. In the episode, entitled "The Deposition," the character Dwight Schrute mentions Wang Tao as one of his table tennis heroes.
